Tom Pelissero of ESPN Twin Cities "heard" at the Combine that free agent Greg Jennings is seeking $14 million a year. $14 million annually would make Jennings the NFL's third highest paid wide receiver behind Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. No one is going to pay that much for an injury-prone wideout entering his age-30 season. Per Pelissero, there is a "popular theory" among NFL front offices that wide receivers will "sit on the market" like inside linebackers did last year. In other words, they may price themselves out of the initial wave of free agency. Feb 22 - 8:28 AM

i thought everyone here was saying jennings would be cheaper. Id rather hv wallace for that type of money.

I didn't mean it as anything against you personally for posting this, but I have seen this posted on numerous sites and the feedback and experts are calling this out as false. Take their opinion (and the guy who reported this whole $14m deal) for what its worth, but Jennings is not aiming for Calvin Johnson type money. He may start high from a negotiating standpoint and meet somewhere in the middle around $7m, but an astronomical contract like that is not what he would logically be looking for.

Bob McGinn ‏@BobMcGinn Things can always change, but I've been told that #Dolphins' Joe Philbin isn't a huge fan of Greg Jennings as a player. Needs a WR but ...

If that's the case then can the idea of us getting Jennings. I'm a fan of what the guy has done on the field, and I think he'd be a great addition, but if Philbin doesn't want him then I'd have to take his word for it. With any of these former Packers we tend to look at now I trust the word of Philbin and Sherman over anyone else.

On a side note, Jennings is crazy if he thinks anyone is going to pay him $14M a season. I'd rather pay Wallace $12M a season than pay Jennings $14M a season, and it's no mystery I don't really like the idea of the Dolphins getting Wallace.

If any of this is true, I'd much rather see the Dolphins draft their receiver talent. I think there is a lot of value to be had in rounds 2-4 this year. Guys like Justin Hunter, Robert Woods, Terrance Williams, Tavon Austin, DeAndre Hopkins, Ryan Swope, Kenny Stills, etc are all possibly going to come off the board in rounds 2-4. I'm a big fan of us going after Hunter in the 2nd and Swope in the 4th.

Now being reported that Jennings wants $12mill/yr. Its not $14, but still not worth it...not even worth it if hes in the $7-9/yr range, imo. Teams are setting themselves up to be in position to overpay free agents, most likely to only get restructured the next year. I say overspend on Wallace, make him an offer no other team will, then just restructure next year to a more cap friendly figure. Dallas cleared $10mill just by restructuring the Chris Carr contract that was signed only a year ago.
